Description
McKee's 37 FAST Metal Polish cuts through oxidation,grime,rust,yellowing, and embedded dirt to create a brilliant, mirror finish on all metals including: aluminum, stainlesss steel, chrome, brass, copper, silver, gold, and diamond plate. Aptly named for its fast cutting actiom, McKees 37 Fast Metal Polish quickly quickly and effortlessly resotres dull metal surfaces to better-than-new conidtion. A built in anti-corrosive agent provides long-lasting protection against oxidation and staining apply by hand or machine.


Directions:
"Thoroughly clean the surface to be polished, Hand application: apply a quarter sized dollop of polish onto a terrycloth applicator pad and vigorously buff the material untill a brilliant finish is revealed. Remove excess residue with a soft, clean microfiber towel. Repeat if necessary. Machine Application: apply polish onto a foam or wool buffing pad. Set speed on rotary polishing between 1000-1500 RPM. Polish untill a brilliant finish is revealed. Lighty buff with a soft microfiber towel. Note: its normal to see black residue on your applicator or buffing pad."


We are going to be restoring these exhaust tips.



Apply a quarter size dollop of product.




Work the area thoroughly.




Buff off to a brilliant shine. Polish untill you get satisfactory results.







It cut through all the carbon really fast.





Lets see how it does on the muffler.




Work area.



Almost instantly restored the OEM finish.





After.




This is the condition of the other muffler.















Fast Metal Polish is named "Fast" for a reason. It is really easy to use and leaves a high quality finish. Other polishes I have used cut through oxidation well, However they dont dont all leave a brilliant reflective finish. I have had to use a finishing polish on many applications after restoring exhaust/mufflers due to the hazy finish. Fast Polish cuts really well, as other polishes do but the unique thing about this product is the finishing ability for sure. It is also really easy to buff off, That is another feature that is really nice, As I even worked larger working areas to see if it would "stick" or be hard to remove. It was easy to remove on short buffing cycles and long buffing cycles.

Exhaust tips can make any polishing/detail look poor if ignored, Freshly polished exhaust tips will always take your polishing job to a higher level of appearance.
 
Nice work. And Nick Thanks you as well. Hopefully you did the rest of the exhaust system.
 
Great work and review Joe. I can't wait to get a bottle of this to try on the Torque Thrust II 's on my 67 Nova..

Thanks Pat!

Take some pics and upload them if you have the chance too. Looking forward to seeing them.

Its a really nice Polish your going to like it.
 
Great review Nick and Joe!

So I guess it's OK to use this polish even if the metal surface hasn't been "thoroughly cleaned"?

Hey Mark thanks for reading again.

The exhaust tips you can just go ahead and polish away the carbon.

The muffler I did go over it with N914 @ Rinseless Wash ratio before polishing.
 
Wow!!!! Is this a non abrasive metal polish and does it have a harsh chemical smell?
 
Very good info, Joe.

I have been looking at metal polishes too. McKee's whole line is certainly getting my attention.

Thanks for posting that, man. :)

Is this product safe to use on plastic chrome trim pieces?

The problem with plastic chrome pieces is they vary from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some are more brittle and sensitive and you can easily damage the more sensitive ones. Others are alot more durable. But if you did want to clean some up, Test a very tiny spot to see how the plastic reacts. To be on the safe side as always. If your test spot appears that it came out ok. Apply lightly just to brighten and enhance the surface. When I get into situations like this I always ask my self as a professional is the Risk worth the reward. I can explain dull plastic trim to the customer alot easier than damaged plastic trim. Just be careful, As I said above every manufacturer use different materials.
